Very excited, waited patiently for the system to come up and was able to get reservations for our Feb trip including lunch at the castle on Valentines Day!! Of course our now “not sure if princesses are cool anymore” 8 year old isn’t sure she wants to got to the castle. ARGH.

Had the same problems as everyone else yesterday. Made Cinderella breakfast reservations online before 6 am EST this morning! Wish yesterday had been as easy.

Had no trouble today with the online reservations.

Was able to make all of my reservations, including Cinderella’s Royal Table, for the 3rd week in February without any problems.

After reading the frustration of others I hate to admit that my TA took care of it all; sent me an email before I woke up on the west coast, and got me everything within 15 minutes of my requested time.

I agree with those that planning where you want to eat 6 months in advance is just weird.

At some point even the most fanatical disney diner would have to ask if getting a restaurant reservation is worth so much trouble. You can eat great meals anywhere, you know. Isn’t your time in “the world” better spent experiencing the things you’ve already paid for and that Disney spends millions on developing?

Called three times now for Cinderellas Royal Table. Have now been told that they can take bookings only until Feb but not after this date as there is a technical problem.

Have to say everyone has been incredibly helpful and have made all my reservations now except Cinderellas.

So will start again tomorrow for the castle.

I got online at 4:55am CST. I was VERY upset to see that the March dates were already released, even thought I was told that they were not going to be released until 5:01am CST. Of course I tried to get Royal Table and it was already sold out. Shortly after, the site crashed. Tried the dining line at 6:00am CST couldn’t even get through. Called the BBB line and got through right away. They are able to book dining as well, which I wasn’t aware of until she asked me if I wanted to make them.
Got into everything but Royal Table. Will keep trying every day until our trip.

I think it means released to Disney staff only! For those looking for park hours, the website still has nothing posted for March 2010 or later, but the Disney reservations rep I (finally) spoke to (for over 90 minutes!) was very helpful and gave me the hours for the week we will be there, including the extra magic hours days for each park as well as the Fantasmic showtimes etc. Be sure to ask in advance if you need to know this info when making your reservations.
